  It might also be helpful to run the most recent stable (and
therefore supported) rygel release. Ubuntu has always been lagging
behind so if you can be one of the users to file bug about this, that
would be very nice.

  If that is the case then the device is not a media-renderer (or DMR
in DLNA-speak) and therefore you can't achieve your goal (of
controlling the playback from another device) with it.
